03/01/2015 20:44Jackets' McElhinney Allows Five In Loss
McElhinney surrendered five goals on 41 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.McElhinney was not solely to blame for the loss as three goals came on the power play and he was peppered with shots all game, but it's still his fifth straight loss. Sergei Bobrovsky has been activated from injured reserve, and although McElhinney received both starts of a back-to-back set after the activation, the 31-year-old will likely return to his backup role.

Curtis McElhinney did yeoman's work as Sergei Bobrovsky's backup last season, seeing action in 28 games with a 2.70 GAA and .909 save percentage. The Blue Jackets seem content to let him caddy for the Russian starter until one of their younger netminders proves they are ready for the NHL. Unless Bobrovsky gets hurt, McElhinney won't have much fantasy relevance. (Updated 8/13/14)
